Inspired by her observation that parents tend to record their children's ""firsts"" but can never anticipate their ""lasts"" (e.g., the last time a child is picked up and held), Kingsbury has created this sap fest in which sentences contort to complete rhymes that often don't scan. Collier's illustrations, featuring awkward, open-mouthed smiles, are gauzy to the point of looking blurry. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
